Update On The Howell Family...Praise the Lord!

This email was waiting for me in my box yesterday. Thanks to all of you who prayed for the Howell family, our missionaries to New Zealand. The Lord certainy came through once again. Here is the email Brother Howell sent:

PRAISE GOD!

I just picked up our passport and approved visas from FED EX.

Thanks for your prayers.

We have had more funds come in this past week to bring us closer to our needed $8,500. Our airline tickets have been covered now, they were just under $6,000. Please continue to pray that we will raise all of our needed funds and that we will be at least 70% of our support. It is important that churches with commitments, but have not started support, to get their suport in before the 25th so we will see it before we travel on the 20th of next month. Also pray that any churches considering supporting us will start by the same date. Pray also that our support will continue to increase while we are in New Zealand for the 6 months; I know many churches do not take on new missionaries until the end or beginning of the year.

God is good...all the time,
Lewis Howell
